Resolutions Of Respect.

DEER PARK, April 24th, 1887.
WHEREAS, The Great Ruler of the
universe has, in His infinite wisdom
removed from our midst our worthy
and esteemed pastor and fellow la
burer, Rev. j. G. Kurtz ; and
WHEREAS, BY this sad bereave-
ment his esteemed companion, Mrs.
Annie kurtZ, has been compelled to
sever her relations with this Sabbath
School as one of its most efficient
teachers, and pious workers, makes
it fitting that we record our apprecia-
ton of both deceased and the bereav-
ed one ; therefore,
ReSOlUed, That the wisdom and
ability with which he labored as our
pastor, and she as teacher in our
school, we will eyer hold in grateful
remembrance.
ReSOlUed, That the sudden removal
of such man. thus causing our dear
sister to sever her relations with
this school, leaves vacancy and
shadow that will be deeply realized
and felt by all members OF this school,
and especially her own class, which
she so efficiently taught, and will
prove grievious loss to both school,
church and community.
ReS0tced, That with deep sympathy
with the afflicted relatives and friends
of the deceased, we express our earn
est hope that so great a bereavement
may be overruled for their highest
good, and for the loss to our school of
our sister, loss that can never be
filled, we are consoled with one
thought, that she has left an example
that will ever live fresh and green
in our memories, and we will always
have her prayers for our advancement
in Christ's Kingdom and that our
prayers and tears will follow her in
this the sadest of her earthly Pilgrim
age.
Let us be patient; these severe Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But oftimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise;
We but dimly thro' the mists and vapors,
Amid these earthly damps;
What seemed to us but sad funeral tapers,
May be heavens distant lamps.

A Philadelphia magazine, published
in 1917, had the following paragraph
relative to the freight by wagon over
the Allegheny Mountains:
"ln the course Of the twelve months
OF 1917 1900 wagons passed The ALE.
ghany Mountains from Philadelphia
aud Baltimore, each with from four 10
six horses, carrying from thirty.hye to
forty hundred weight. The coat Of
carriage was about 81 per hundred
weight, but sometimes rs high as $40
from Philadelphia. The aggregate sum
paid for freight exceeds 81 200, ,O00."
AT the present time the Pennsylvania
railroad carries perhaps as much freight
in a single day 10 and from Pitlsburg ~
was then carried during the entire year. /.
IL cost them not less than $40 TO move
a ton OF freight between Philadelphia
and Pittsbufg, distance Of 3S5 miles.
According to tue report of the Prnnsyl-
yauia railroad la 1856 the cost Of trans
porting ton Of freight between the Two
places was ,2.S7; the cost Of transport
ing a barrel Of flour In 1917 was tl4,
while In 1856 10 was only 2s cts. Then

Quiet Girls

The quiet girl, an observant critic re-
marks, is generally worth studying. aud
will frequently astOnish those who pre-
tend to understand her, by rising to
heights. when she is summoned thither,
which are unapproaChable TO her COM
placent and courted critics. Yet it may
happen that quiet girls Of the best type
may lack the wit, the adaptablity to
that with which they have no sympa-
thy, the glibLess, and that Unlimited
faith in themselves which must be pos
sessed by those who desire to attract the
notice Of the more shallow portion Of
society, who believe in noisy girls. All
quiet girls are not endowed with genius
and virtues, for some are simply fools
who would be noisy enough if they
could find anything TO say. But we
protest against the habit which prevails
of sighting quiet girls and speaking i'll
of them before they have been fairly
tried, and of paying sickening homage
to the conceited chatterboxes Of little
moral sense and principles. While noisy
damsels will often turn out 10 be gaudy
impostors, many quiet ones will amply
repay the time, trouble and love which
any one may bestow upon them.

Three novelties are TO be introduced
into modern warfare. The first OF these
is the use of the bicycle by couriers
carrying dispatches 10 military COM
maniers while their columns are In
movement. Germany was the first To
seize upon and utilize this modern in
yention, and France Immediately fol-
lowed the example. Both have estab-
lished special schools for the purpose Of
training riders in the sklllful use Of the
bicycle. England is also contemplating
the introduction of 1t for military pur-
poses, and different modes of propul-
sion are being tested. Some two weeks
ago bicycle was shown TO number
of army officers in the vicinity or Lon
don which could be propelled by Sec
oudary electric battery across plowed
fields and over the toughest country,
aud which was claimed by the enthusl-
astic exhibitor 10 be "a practical substi-
tute for the horse in cavalry regiments"
Can any one imagine cavalry charge
on bicycles without bursting into roar
OF Homeric laughter. Another novelty,
also German idea, is the use OF dogs
at Outposts 80 close 10 the enemy that n
sentinel might be suddenly surprised
and captured before he was capable OF
giving an alarm. In such situation
there is no doubt but that watchful
dog would be an acquisition. But the
greatest novelty in warfare Is su Ameri-
can invention. The dynamite gun
promises to prove for harbor defense
more effective than torpedoes aud tor
pedO boats. The test made the other
day Of its destructive powers, In the
presence Of Secretary whitney aud
number Of naval officers, Is pronounced
to have been most satisfactory, and the
belief was expressed that the invention
was only in its infancy so far rs its ca
pacity for destI oying an entmy's vessel,
even an ironclad, l. concerned. But IL
must be remembered that ships In con-
staut movement are u Il so easily struck
as was the stationary hulk that the
dynamite gun so eiiectually blew To
pieces in the waters OF New York.

a single Town, in all :he northern States.
The active men at that time in urging
